Original Summary

Reuters US death row inmate Christa Pike has been discharged from hospital following her botched execution at the end of last month, her lawyers have said. The 50-year-old murderer has been returned to the prison where she has spent the last 30 years, according to a statement from her lawyers on Saturday. She is continuing to receive medical care at the prison. Pike survived two lethal injections of the drug pentobarbital on 30 September, which left her in a critical condition in hospital. Earlier this week, she regained consciousness and began speaking - stunning experts, medical staff and her lawyers. "She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances," her lawyers said in their statement. Pike's case is now in uncharted territory as Pike is believed to be the only person to have survived an execution attempt by lethal injection. Pike was 18 when she and her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, beat, tortured and killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, whom they had met at a job training camp for low-income young people.
